Origin & Lore

Patchouli is a herb of the mint family from tropical Asia, and musk was once the scent of the musk deer, now made synthetically. Both are heavy, warm and sensual scents. This oil combines them for attraction and passion.

In the nineteenth century, Indian shawls were shipped with dried patchouli leaves to keep out moths, and the scent became so tied to genuine Indian cashmere that European makers began scenting their imitations with it.

The word musk comes from Sanskrit muṣka, testicle, because the musk gland of the male deer resembles one. In hoodoo, patchouli is used for love and money, and some modern writers say patchouli can stand in for graveyard dirt.
